At Acuity Brands LLC, I lead six cross-functional teams through new product development. I launched the GPX LED Panel, designing injection-molded integrated-sensor components for the platform initiative’s largest automation integration to date.

I also launched CSS Generation 2, designed its sheet-metal components, and delivered $300K in variable cost savings. Earlier, I designed the IVO Cylinder Downlight at Acuity Brands and factory-automation equipment at Kinetic Machine Development, where I collaborated with Blue Origin engineers on projects supporting the New Glenn launch-vehicle program.
